in the previous post i mentioned that day 3 was a day at sea. so here we are at day 4. day four we were in grand cayman. this place was very awesome. loved it. our excursion this day was snuba. it was dang awesome. basically it is a mix of snorkeling and scuba diving. you can go 20 feet underwater with no tank on your back. you are pulling a raft above the water with two tanks on it. there are 4 people per raft, 2 people per tank.

after we got off the cruise ship we found our snuba guide and he took us to where we would be diving. they told us all the rules and how-to’s and then we got geared up and got in the water. at our dive site there was an actual shipwreck from the 1800’s. it was really cool. it took me awhile to get the hang of breathing under the surface, but i finally got a hold of it. it was amazing. we dove for 30 minutes and after about 25 minutes another guy attached to our raft and i looked frantically at each other and realized that we had run out of air! we were 18-19 feet below the surface with no air. that is a horrible feeling. we went back up to the surface and realized that they had hooked 3 people to 1 tank. it was supposed to be 2 people per tank. but we got it fixed and right after i got back under the surface kimb got stung by a jellyfish. watching your wife panic 15 feet under the surface is not a great feeling. after we got back to the base we got her jelly fish taken care of (white vinegar) and took our gear off and then went to eat.

we ate at this place called breezes. we both had fish and chips and the was really, really, good. we did some shopping and then caught our boat back to our cruise ship and then relaxed on the deck for a hour or so until the boat left the dock.

i would totally do snuba again.

here is the picture for the day. this is one of the excursions they offered in grand cayman. you got to go on this pirate ship dress up like a pirate and do pirate things. i.e. shoot canons, play with a parrot and even walk the plank. this picture was taken from our room balcony on the back side of the boat.
